Every New Year's Eve, Eurovision fans across the globe tune in to hear the top 250 Eurovision songs as voted by fans.
The poll has been running for over a decade, with the voting component organised by Belgian Eurovision site, songfestival.be.
We went to 17 members of the Aussievision team to find out how they voted in this year's countdown. We've collated the results and compiled an Aussievision ESC250 Top 10.
Let's take a look at the Aussievision team’s ESC250 ranked songs for 2023:
10. Chanel - 'SloMo' (Spain, 2022) 20 points
Highs: 12 points from Mike and 8 points from Cooper
Chanel won over the Eurovision fandom by knocking off Loreen's 'Euphoria' from its decade long reign from the covereted top spot on the ESC250! This year 'SloMo' is one of the Aussievision teams top 10 favourite Eurovision entries.
We will have to wait until New Year's Eve to find out if Chanel can hold onto the crown and take out the ESC250 for the second year in a row.

At the 2021 Contest the Ukrainian entry scored points from both the Australian public (10 points) and Australian jury (5 points), so it's not surprising it ranks highly among the Aussievision team.
